Many of the flowers got frostbite and turned brown, but the Hydrangea bushes are snug up to the screen porch and they are still going strong. This pretty pear also has not been bitten but it is the last of my pears that I bought to paint and is just now getting ripe enough to eat.  I love all these blues and greens, and still having fun painting baskets. Up next? Camellias and more. 

 I have several commissions I am working on for Christmas so let me know if you have something you'd like me to paint for someone special (or maybe for yourself).

If you are interested in this painting and are local, I can deliver it to you and will change the paypal button to remove shipping charges. 

Still Life With Pear

Still Life With Pear

This pear is trying to hide behind the blue cup but it doesn't seem to be working.  I love all these colors, especially the color of the tablecloth.

Nowhere To Hide

This pear is not as bold as yesterday's pear.  This one declined a spot in front and prefers to remain mostly in the shadows. I am once again experimenting with color and it's fun with all my painting props to try different combinations.

On a somber note, one of my galleries is closing and I received a message yesterday to come and pick up my paintings at the Woods Gallery on Bald Head Island.  It has been wonderfully managed for BHI incorporated by Shawn Best and I wish her the best in what she endeavors next.

(Hopefully she will have more time for her own painting, as she is a wonderful artist)

Pear Stack

Painting this stack of cups was really fun and I really like the way the shadows were behind the cups.  The best part is: now I can eat that pear that I have been wanting!

Each Peach, Pear, Plum

Each Peach, Pear, Plum

Here is yesterday's post which for some mysterious reason did not go through yesterday.

When I set up these three pieces of fruit I was reminded of an old dipping rhyme:

Each, peach, pear, plum,
Out goes Tom Thumb;
Tom Thumb won't do,
Out goes Betty Blue;
Betty Blue won't go,
So out goes you.


This was popular as a jumping rope chant and as a way to choose sides for
various games. I always loved jumping rope and became pretty good at it-somehow jumping rope when you have to hold it yourself takes much of the fun out of it.
